Susan Faludi, why does that name ring a bell?

Susan Faludi, why does that name ring a bell?

She's well-known for having it really, really rough.

She's best known for writing a much ballyhooed book called "Backlash," a huge load of drivel about how Hollywood keeps women down. The major criticism of it was that she would only cite examples and statistics that supported her tenuous conclusions and ignored the many that contradicted her. Nice to see she's still using that same tried and true method of argument.

One sidelight: as a native Texan, I'd like to ask the New York Times, "Just once, when you run an op-ed analyzing Texas or Texans, could you please, please, PLEASE find someone to write it who has actually BEEN here at least once in his or her life, or has actually MET someone who lives west of the Hudson River?" God, that would be such a refreshing change! Why not get Woody Allen to tell us all about Texas and cowboys next time?
